THE MAIDS
by Jean Genet
Presented by Annexe Repertory Theatre
Directed by Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottir

Two sisters play out plots to murder their Madame as they do the housework. They have gotten rid of that observant Monsieur, finally they have the chance to go through with it. Are they ready? And does Madame deserve to die? A very, very dark comedy and a modern classic by Jean Genet.

“Madame thought she was protected by her barricade of flowers, saved by some special destiny, by sacrifice. But she reckoned without a maid's rebellion.”

Running over a whip-smart and elegant 80 minutes, Sigfusdottir’s production goes straight for the jugular without fuss. The Herald
